Through a series of workshops, interactive sessions, and mentorship opportunities, The Next Surgeon program gives high school students in grades 10-12 from the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) a glimpse of what it’s like to work in the medical field. Resources and guidance are provided to help students navigate the educational requirements to support their journey toward becoming a healthcare professional.
The Next Surgeon is delivered in partnership with Unity Health Toronto, Office of Access and Outreach – Temerty Faculty of Medicine, and UpSurge.
